No wifi drivers, mystery devices in device manager

[cunninglinguine]

Because of the recent...news with malware, when I got my T8 Pro I wiped the hard drive and installed a fresh copy of Windows 11. I figured the link to the drivers shared here and on the Drivers page would actually have the correct drivers in there, but apparently not.

Between Windows' automatic driver installations and running the `InstallDriver.cmd` batchfile in the driver zip, I still have three mystery devices in Device Manager and no wifi adapter:



The two PCI devices are
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_54C6&SUBSYS_72708086&REV_00\3&11583659&0&C9
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_54C5&SUBSYS_72708086&REV_00\3&11583659&0&C8

And the Unknown is
ACPI\INTC1057\2&DABA3FF&0

These all seem to be Intel Serial IO or I2C controllers, but none of the drivers in the archive match.

Also, the batch file in the driver archive kept trying to run devcon_x64.exe, which was supposed to be in the Drivers subfolder of the archive but it's not there at all, and it doesn't exist anywhere else on the system.

So does anyone know where to get the correct drivers for the above devices, and know why I don't have any wifi devices showing up at all?

Thanks!

Hi Barry, none of the drivers in the attached archive match with the three drivers identified in my first post,

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_54C6&SUBSYS_72708086&REV_00\3&11583659&0&C9
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_54C5&SUBSYS_72708086&REV_00\3&11583659&0&C8
ACPI\INTC1057\2&DABA3FF&0

I grep'd all the .inf files for, e.g., DEV_54C6 and it doesn't match any of them. I went ahead and tried to install them anyway via device manager and Windows informed me they were not the correct driver.

However, some good news, installing the netrtwlane02 driver made the wifi adapter appear. I may just reinstall Windows and try again. If I run into any issues I will email you. Thanks

cunninglinguine,

Before going through a reinstall, I'd try the free version of Driver Booster, which is often recommended by barry for finding drivers. HOWEVER, I'd use it only for those missing drivers and not others, even if it shows updates available for others. These units sometimes use drivers that are tailored specifically for them, and generic drivers may not work perfectly for some of the devices.
